Leasing and Showing

Today in training we discussed leasing. That was interesting. I wonder, of course, how many properties I would end up leasing once I become an agent. Hmmm.

JD Tomlin, my fearless team leader, invited me to show 2 houses to a new prospect. We met at the first property, greeted the prospect and then toured the house. I watched closely as JD confidently discussed the features of the house being very candid. the house was very nice except for the grey carpet in the front room and the stairway. Obviously the beige and warm colored walls (guys can never seem to correctly name a color different than beige so I won't even try) were something else and the carpet was never changed to match. Overall though it was a nice house, showed well, and seemed homey, smelled nice, and was clean.

Then we visited a foreclosure/short sell property (I am only just beginning to understand these terms) and the contrast was amazing! Distressed is the only word that could adequately describe this home. Yes, it could be a good investment property, even a future leasae property (intersting we learned about leases just this monring).

Our prospect went back to the first house and asked JD to let her in again. I'm thinking that is the one that she and her husband will choose...we shall see if I am able to read the situation. Interesting day...
